Day 18: Mid-review

We had our mid-review today with four invited critics, Wyn Bielaska from Chihuly Studios, Lisa Chun from Zero-Plus Architects, Brian Court from the Miller|Hull Partnership and Tyler Sprague from the UW Architecture Department. It was a lively afternoon of discussion covering a wide range of issues; from the response to the urban context to detailed considerations of form and structure. At the end of the review the critics expressed their enthusiasm for the projects and were impressed with the variety of approaches to what seems like a simple task of designing a replacement for the Marion Street pedestrian bridge. This was also the last day that Claudia Pagani was in the studio as she will return to Rome and communicate the progress of the students to Paolo Desideri.
